Abstract: Specific current issues of cadastral work concerns at the introduction of

cadastre in our country and with it the completion of specialized cadastres. General cadastre
is organized at each administrative - territorial units: common, city, municipality, county and
at country level through cadastre and real estate advertising county offices.

Keywords: cadastre, E-Terra, TOPRO5

1. Introduction

Currently, urban real-estate cadastre is organized by the Ministry of Administration

and Interior, through ANCPI, with the main tasks of coordinating activities to ensure land
base property cadastre surveying and placing utilities in cities, establishing the rules for
content and quality of methodologies of the work, database creation and development of land
management policies at local government level.
The purpose and importance of urban real-estate cadastre can be described on the
principle of systems analysis, of which five represent the main areas of interest, and the fifth
a consequence of their, embodied in:
- technical and economic mapping of all land and buildings contained within the
perimeters of built-territorial administrative units at district level, city, town, commune;
- establishing uniform and complete of the elements needed to assess land and
buildings situated in localities, regardless of their nature and the owner;
- an inventory of all underground and aboveground utilities networks, industrial and
technical, on types of networks;
- achieving a uniform and standardized information system for property registration
and cadastre management utilities, integrated into urban data bank;
- increase local decision-making responsibilities and strengthen the authorities
responsible for administration and management planning, at level of county, city, town,
common.
Real-estate cadastre objectives aim to create a system that would lead to:
- establish a unified operational system on taxes at central and local government;
- creating and developing a market of land and building based on actual technical
and economic data, recognized and guaranteed by real estate advertising system;
- optimization of land and construction use by drawing up plans for urban and
regional planning.

The content of real estate cadastre, illustrated schematically in the figure below, can be
defined, as a subsystem that provides data and documents required to be assembled and

integrated into the general cadastre

Starting from the general cadastre basic entities: parcel, building, owner and the and
from the data and documents which he achieve (land register of parcels, alphabetical index of
owners and their address, land register of owners, bodies register property, cadastral plan), the
real estate cadastre aims in expanding their following additional types of information:
- information of the parcel;
- information about construction.

2. The Geographic Information System

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an essential component of informatic

systems that find their place and importance in the management and leadership activities. His
role is to prepare and deliver spatial information necessary for automatic management of
cadastral data.

Organization which coordinates and carries out GIS activity will provide quality
information to all of which contribute to achieving an efficient and quality communication
environment.
GIS is a technology that allows that an unlimited number of information to be linked
or matched depending on their geographic location.
Together with a digital map, GIS allows viewing at local community or regional level,
of information obtained by analyzing different data types: demography, pollution, income,
education, soil type, land occupancy the construction of various types, preferences for
television programs, number of internet users etc.
Correlateing the above types of information, using GIS technology, enables efficient
analysis, analysis that can be as high quality decision support. It is clear therefore that the
effect of using a geographic information system in government is deeply, being at the same
time the one of the basic supports for sustainable development of local communities.
A modern geographical information system should provide the following types of
functionality:
- statistical analysis and spatial analysis of areas defined by the user;
- analysis of critical path, with the ability to calculate distances and to choose the
most efficient routes, according to available information existing in the spatial database;
- CAD facilities, opportunity to generate plans and sketches three-dimensional
models, including built-up areas, architectural models;
- possibility to define, design, develop and analyze utility networks and the
possibility to monitor or simulate their operation;
- possibility of using Global Positioning System (GPS) to position various objects of
urban spatial database, including the possibility monitoring of vehicles;
- standard features of a database, including their spatial component: sorting, query,
the connection, addition, correction, updateing;
- inserting, updating and analysis of cadastral data;
- spatial analysis as a decision support;
- multimedia facilities (the possibility of assigning a spatial element attributes as
image and audio type);
- ability to develop expert systems, allowing automation of some activities with high
level ol repetitivity;
- opportunities for spatial modeling, simulation, prediction.

3. The role of cadastre and real estate advertising county offices in

implementing a Geographic Information Systems

The role of cadastre and real estate advertising county offices is to provide the
following:
- for performing measurements OCPI Alba can provide the coordinates of the
triangulation points (orders I-V ) within county;
- ortofotoplans;
- cadastral plans at a scale of 1: 1000 and 1: 2000 inside localities, 1: 5000 and 1:
10000 for terrain localities,
- the maps of land books;
- the final parceling plans for some territorial administrative units registered in
Annex 1;
- specialized cadastre for next localities: Aiud - an area of 158,66 hectares, Ocna
Mureş - 219,37 hectares, Sebeş - 876,74 hectares and Alba Iulia – 1003,59 ha;

- 23 -

- the county map with limits of territorial administrative units;

- all PAD’s received and entered into the database;
- land registers;
- all land books for all Alba county in analogue and digital format;
- the database with “DDAPT ” that contains all the property titles with land owners
and cadastral numbers of parcels, issued so far.
At cadastre and real estate advertising county offices levels is implemented the “E-
Terra” program which achieve the conversion of book land into electronically, and which
contain, besides the owner, parcel area, category of use, any encumbrances on the building,
and the building’s topology.
To implement a GIS OCPI Alba could provide data under this program for buildings
that have been received and approved through this program.
ANCPI in collaboration with the Department of Cartography and Information and
Communications Technology Department have developed “The reference plan of Romania -
TOPRO5, scale 1:5000”, following that OCPI Alba to receive the plan in digital format as
soon as possible. Once receiving this plan will be possible the following:
- extraction of hydrographic elements, of communications ways and obtaining
administrative limits of inside for the whole country;
- checking data vector extracted from ortofoto
- achieving integration of extracted elements into a informatic system for each
county separately and validating these data.

4. Conclusions

Can not imagine a territorial information system without the possibility of working
with the supporting documents (from the databases of the general cadastre and real estate
cadastre, property evidence and street nomenclature), with the basic documents (from the
databases of studies territory planning and town planning documentation) and related
documents (from the databases of certificates and permits, and protected heritage areas
arranged).
Cadastre and real estate advertising county offices are willing to make these data
available and to give all possible support to introduce the general cadastre in the entire
country and creating a single database for the entire country.
